What is the average height for a 16 year old girl?

Question

I'm 16 and 5'8.5 inches

i used to be one of the tallest in class at school etc..and it really depressed me to the point which i thought i was a tall freak and hated going out...

i still hate my height and wish i could be 5'6 or something so i dont stand out.

any-one know what the average is for my age?

p.s i know that being tall is "beautiful" and all that..just look at the amazing models.

but when it comes to everyday life its really not that great..

I think you're at normal height.  I'm short ( 5'4'' ) and I'm not very happy with it.  Being short isn't that great either.  I would like to be 5'8'', that would be perfect.  In highschool it sucks to be tall but when you enter your 20s, it's worse to be short.  All those malnutritioned dwarfs you go to school with are gonna be paying the price later on so embrace your stature.
